I don't play games either, but I do want to use the graphics card's
GPU for number crunching (no, not crypto mining - machine learning).
Afaik - I'm still getting my feet wet with the ML packages - the
support for driving the NVidia GPUs as compute farms is better than
for the other chipsets. Hence my aim to conquer the mountain of
getting the proprietary drivers working with my 'buntu.
